December is one of the longest months in my opinion. But, it is also one of the most festive, thanks in part to the 25th & 31st. December is also the return of the Hot Chocolate Run, the return of the awesomely awesome Rebecca Correia (to the Iron Horse) and for reading books it is:
- Anatomy of Murder by Robert Traver in honor of John Jay becoming the first Chief Justice in this month (I’ll explain at review time).
- Quiet American by Graham Greene in honor of Ward Just’s birthday (I’ll explain that in a second).
- Dangerous Friend by Ward Just in honor of Ward Just’s birthday. I had always been told to read Quiet American with Dangerous Friend so that’s what I’m doing.
- Family Affair by Rex Stout in honor of his birthday.
And if there is time…
- I’m a Stranger Here Myself by Bill Bryson in honor of his birthday.
So, I’m celebrating author birthdays more than real life birthdays. What’s up with that? Not really sure I know myself….
“I’m a Stranger Here Myself” sounds really good. its on my to read list too 🙂
life sounds like its been crazy…anything i can do to help?
what’s your schedule like???
Pretty cool photo there. I like the contrast of the warm orange light and the snow/winter atmosphere. 🙂
Oh hey! Thanks! My neighbor’s house…
